Observer: Sandy Dillard & guide
Comment: I spent 2 days birding in Hong Kong and it was quite a nice area to go birding. I was taken around by Wong Lun Cheong aka "Captain" h9363191@hkusub.hku.hk He is a very pleasant person and very knowledgeable about the area. We went to the Mai Po marshes and several other places as time permitted. There is a Hong Kong birding society web page and these people are very helpful in getting goin in the area also.
